The Naked Sun - NEW EP Pickled Hearts

It's been two years since Philly's The Naked Sun released their debut Space, Place, and Time a bold conceptual EP dealing with lofty themes and quintessential questions. On their latest EP Pickled Hearts their best to date, hinting at spectacular things to come from this up and coming Philly band. The band is more earthbound, the songs are rootsy and beautifully crafted, their chemistry feels effortless. They've blended traditional country twang and Americana with songwriting reminiscent of The Flying Burrito Brothers.

Last summer, South Jersey five-piece The Naked Sun stormed the World Cafe Live stage with a rousing set of rambling rock and roll tunes at the Beta Hi-Fi Competition. Since then, the band has played a bit more to the subdued side of the musical spectrum. A trumpet player and saxophonist backed up the group, adding to their richly-arranged new songs on this February '13 live session. The set draws mostly from their debut EP Space, Place, and Time.

In April of this year they released their EP Space, Place, and Time, Eric at Philly's popular blog, Bucket Full of Nails says;

"The constant that runs throughout Space, Place, and Time is the dynamic between verse and chorus. With only four songs — the structure of each being different — marked verses tend to be on the subtler side, with rising choruses serving to accentuate the human condition. Repetition drives these songs. The rhythmic patterns lend themselves to the reality of our own existence" Read the review here
